Myron A. Parker, a 20-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on May 24, 2014, at a BP station at 170th and Torrence Avenue in Lansing, Illinois. The shooting happened in daylight over the Memorial Day weekend while Parker was pumping gas. Witnesses say another vehicle pulled up and an altercation occurred; after Parker initially brushed it off, he was shot multiple times and the assailant fled in a blue Buick LeSabre.

Lansing police identified 23-year-old David Snelling of Hammond, Indiana, as the suspect. Police say the shooting followed Parker confronting Snelling, who was allegedly committing an armed robbery of someone with Parker. The suspect vehicle was found abandoned within a mile of the station with a semi-automatic pistol inside. Snelling was arrested on July 15, 2014, and charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery with a firearm.

Does anyone have information about the events at the BP that day or about witnesses who saw the blue Buick LeSabre?
